(Let's dive in, shall we?)
First Impressions & Accessibility (Or, the Struggle is Real)
Arriving at Omah Kura 1… well, it’s like falling down a rabbit hole into a Balinese fever dream. Lush greenery, carved wooden details, and the pervasive scent of… something. Incense? Frangipani? Who knows. But it’s definitely an experience.
Accessibility: Okay, so this is where things get a little… complicated. While they claim wheelchair accessibility, my initial wanderings suggested it's more "suggested" than fully realized. The ramps felt a bit steep, and navigating the beautiful, but uneven, stone pathways with a wheelchair would be a workout. However, they do have elevators, which is a HUGE plus. (It's a mixed bag. Check with them directly before booking if true accessibility is critical.)
Check-in/out [Express] & [Private]: They seemed to offer both, and I opted for the express option. The staff was super friendly, but it felt a little… frantic. Like they were trying to squeeze a week's worth of hospitality into 5 minutes.
Rooms: A Sanctuary or a Sensory Overload?
My room? Ah, the room. It was HUGE. Seriously, could practically hold a small wedding in there.
Available in All Rooms: Air conditioning (thank GOD!), alarm clock, bathrobes (yes!), bathroom phone (…why?), bathtub, blackout curtains (essential!), carpeting, closet, coffee/tea maker (needed!), complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, extra long bed(!), free bottled water, hair dryer, in-room safe box, internet access, ironing facilities, laptop workspace, linens, mini bar… the list goes on and on. It's a good thing!
Soundproofing, Smoke detector, and safety: These elements were obviously necessary for any hotel.
My Room: The Good, The Bad, and the Slightly Weird: The bed… was a cloud. Seriously, I sank right into it. The bathroom was massive with a separate shower and bathtub. The decor was… intense. Think ornate carvings, vibrant fabrics, and a whole lot of wood. It was definitely visually stimulating. Maybe a bit much, especially at 3 AM when I was trying to find the light switch. (They have a LOT of switches).
Non-smoking: Thank the heavens.
Soundproofing: Yes very good.
Internet access: They provided free Wi-Fi and the option of LAN cable.
In-room: My suite was clean, with the standard amenities, and the sheets were soft.
Dining: A Culinary Adventure (Emphasis on Adventure)
The food situation? Okay, here we go. It's a mixed bag, to put it mildly.
Restaurants & Cuisine: They had several restaurants, including a buffet and an a la carte option. The Asian cuisine was amazing, seriously top-notch. The Western cuisine was… less consistent. My burger tasted a little odd.
Breakfast [Buffet] & [Service]: The breakfast buffet was a proper feast, a symphony of colors and smells. There was an Asian breakfast, but I got Western breakfast. I enjoyed my meal.
Coffee/tea in restaurant: YES! Thank God.
Room service [24-hour]: Very Good!
The Anecdote: The Mystery Soup: One evening, I ordered the soup. When it arrived, it was… orange. Like, aggressively orange. And tasted of… well, I’m still not entirely sure what it tasted of. It was definitely an experience. Definitely.
The Restaurant Experience: The best part was the staff. They were so enthusiastic and helpful, almost to the point of… over-friendliness? They’d check on me every five minutes. I appreciate the effort, but sometimes, a little breathing room is nice.
Relaxation & Wellness: Sanity Found (Maybe)
- Pool with view & Swimming pool [outdoor]: The highlight? The outdoor pool. Seriously, stunning. It's a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking… something. I think it was a rice paddy. Doesn't matter, it was beautiful. Spent a solid afternoon just floating, staring at the sky, and trying to de-stress from the soup situation.
- Spa & Massage: I did opt for a massage, figuring I deserved it after the… culinary adventure. The spa was tranquil, the massage was excellent. Bliss. Almost.
- Body scrub, Sauna, Steamroom: They had these, too! I didn't get around to them, which is a shame.
- Fitness center: They had one, but I did not use it.
- Foot bath: I had a foot bath!
- Couple's room: Yes!
Cleanliness & Safety: The New Reality (I Think)
- Anti-viral cleaning products, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Daily disinfection in common areas: They took safety seriously. Hand sanitizer everywhere, staff masked up, and everything felt… clean. Perhaps TOO clean, in some ways.
- Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit: Nice to know!
- Cashless payment service: Modern!
For the Kids & Family
- Babysitting service: They had it.
- Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal: Yes to all!
Services & Conveniences (The Good, the Ambiguous, and the Just Plain Weird)
Air conditioning in public area, Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes: The standard stuff, all good!
Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Taxi service, Valet parking: Parking was easy.
Contactless check-in/out: Excellent!
Currency exchange: Useful.
Dry cleaning & Ironing service & Laundry service: All good!
Doorman: Always welcome.
Business facilities: They have a business center including a Xerox/fax machine.
The Weird Stuff: A shrine on the property? Maybe. A smoking area that seemed to be constantly occupied by… well, smokers. And the sheer amount of staff! Everywhere! All the time! It was a lot.
Getting Around
- Airport transfer, Bicycle parking: They offer airport transfer.
Bottom Line: Would I Go Back?
Honestly? Maybe. Omah Kura 1 is a rollercoaster. It's beautiful in places, slightly bewildering in others, and occasionally a little… odd. But it’s certainly an experience. If you're looking for a unique stay, a stunning pool, and aren't afraid of a little adventure (and potentially, a questionable soup), then give it a shot. Just… be prepared to be slightly overwhelmed. And maybe pack your own food. (Just kidding… mostly.)

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the glorious mess that is my trip to Omah Kura 1, Yogyakarta. Forget perfect Instagram filters, this is reality, baby! This is gonna be a wild ride, full of questionable choices, questionable food, and probably a healthy dose of existential dread. Let's GO!
Omah Kura 1, Yogyakarta: A Chaotic Adventure (Here We Go!)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Noodle Debacle
- Morning (6:00 AM): Jakarta to Yogyakarta! Ugh, getting to the airport at this hour? Human cruelty! Seriously, someone hand me a coffee and a solid reason to get out of bed. The flight was okay, nothing to write home about, except the guy beside me who snored like a walrus being strangled for the entire journey. Pretty sure I lost a few brain cells.
- Late Morning (9:00 AM): Arrived in Yogyakarta! The air… thick, fragrant, and utterly delicious. Instantly, I'm already 80% in love. Found a slightly terrifying taxi driver (who looked like he'd seen some things) but got to Omah Kura 1.
- Early Afternoon (11:00 AM): Omah Kura. HEAVEN. Seriously, I gasped. So incredibly beautiful! A little oasis with adorable chickens running around. My room… simple, clean, and perfectly imperfect. Already plotting to extend my stay.
- Mid-Afternoon (1:00 PM): The Knee-Weakening Noodle Disaster. I needed food. Desperately. Stumbled upon a warung (local eatery) around the corner. Ordered something that looked like delicious noodles. What I got was a mountain of noodles, enough to feed a small village, swimming in a broth that may or may not have been motor oil. The flavor? Intense. Intensely… unfamiliar. I ate, I suffered, I vowed to never trust my hunger pangs again. But hey, at least it was an experience, right? And the people-watching was epic!
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM): Recovered. Spent the afternoon wandering the backstreets, getting blessedly lost. Saw a batik shop. Fell in LOVE with a scarf. It was too expensive, so I convinced myself the vibrant patterns just had to call out to me, and I had to purchase it. No regrets. (Famous last words, I know).
- Evening (7:00 PM): Sunset at a rooftop bar (suggested by the friendly staff). Breathtaking. Seriously. The entire city seemed to glow. Ordered a Bintang (local beer) and felt a deep sense of contentment wash over me. The only downside? The music was… well, let's just say it was reminiscent of a karaoke night gone terribly, wonderfully wrong.
- Night (9.00 PM): Back at Omah Kura, exhausted and already plotting what to do tomorrow. Staring at the ceiling fans. Sleep, I hope.
Day 2: Temples, Terrors, and Tuk-Tuk Troubles
- Morning (7:00 AM): Attempted the "early bird" thing and went to Borobudur. The sun, the sheer size of the temple… overwhelming! I got totally lost in the carvings. So much history, so many stories. But also… so. Many. Tourists. It was like a Disney ride, but with ancient Buddhas. Started to question the meaning of life. Decided I didn't have the energy for existentialism.
- Late Morning (10:00 AM): Prambanan Temple! More temples! More history! But this time, I felt… lighter. The architecture is incredible. Took approximately a million photos. Tried to channel my inner Lara Croft. Failed miserably.
- Lunch (1:00 PM): Street food! Finally something palatable! (And not a mountain of noodles). Had a plate of Nasi Goreng (fried rice) that was so good it almost made me cry. Almost. The chili was a bit… intense. My tongue is still tingling.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): The Tuk-Tuk Trial by Fire. Needed to get back to Omah Kura. Flagged down a tuk-tuk. Big mistake. This guy was a speed demon. We swerved through chaotic traffic, narrowly avoiding scooter accidents like some kind of bizarre, terrifying dance. Screamed a lot. Laughed a lot. Nearly lost my lunch. Definitely gained a few years of life expectancy (ironically).
- Evening (6:00 PM): Attempted to find a legit cooking class. Got turned around, lost, and slightly dehydrated. Ended up in a local cafe with a questionable internet connection, failing to sort out my travel plans!
- Night (8:00 PM): Back in the room. Exhausted, elated, and slightly traumatized by tuk-tuks. Tomorrow: more adventures, more food (hopefully less terrifying), and definitely more coffee.
Day 3: Batik, Markets, and the Great Farewell (…For Now)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Batik! (More batik!) This time, I took a batik-making class. Turns out, creating Batik is harder than it looks! My first attempt? A disaster. My second? A slightly less disastrous disaster. Embrace the imperfection, they said. I did. Very reluctantly.
- Late Morning (11:00 AM): A wandering around the local markets. Seriously, sensory overload! Spices, fabrics, trinkets, the smells, the sounds… It was a chaotic, vibrant explosion of life. Bargained for a few souvenirs and probably overpaid. Who cares! I wanted them.
- Lunch (1:00 PM): Tried a local eatery. It was crowded, hot, and the food was absolutely divine. I have no idea what I ate, but I loved it.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): More wandering and re-discovering my new favorite streets. The best part of Yogyakarta? How kind people are! Smiles everywhere, a willingness to help. It's infectious.
- Evening (6:00 PM): Said a teary goodbye to Omah Kura. Already planning my return.
- Night (7:00 PM): Airport. Waiting for my flight. Reflecting on the glorious mess that was this trip. Tired. Happy. Changed.
- Late Night (10:00 PM): Back home. Now, I need to plan the next trip!
Final Thoughts:
Yogyakarta, you absolute beauty. You challenged me, thrilled me, terrified me, and then won me over completely. The chaos, the food, the people… all of it has left me with a warmth. This trip wasn't perfect, but that’s the best part of it! I went with no real plan, and the messier it became the better it got. I can't wait to go back! Until next time, Yogyakarta… you beautiful, crazy place!

Unbelievable Omah Kura 1 Yogyakarta: You WON'T Believe What's Inside! (FAQs - Because You *Really* Should Know)
Okay, Seriously, What *IS* Omah Kura 1? Is it a Restaurant? A Zoo? I'm Confused.
Alright, buckle up, because this is where things get... well, *unbelievable*. Omah Kura 1 is NOT a restaurant, okay? (Although, after you see some of these creatures, you might *need* a stiff drink.) It's a private turtle sanctuary, a *massive* collection of turtles, tortoises, and terrapins, nestled in the heart of Yogyakarta. It’s essentially a turtle paradise, the kind of place where you can imagine Donatello from the Ninja Turtles finally getting some peace. (Though, I doubt he’s Indonesian.) The owner? Let’s just say they've got a serious shell-obsession. And trust me; it's contagious.
Think of it as a glimpse into a watery underworld, but without the pirates (hopefully).
Is it Kid-Friendly? My Toddler Eats Everything. And by "Everything," I mean... Everything.
Oh boy. Okay, look, *technically* yes, it's kid-friendly. But if your toddler is going through a "everything-goes-in-the-mouth" phase, proceed with extreme caution. Some of these turtles... they're big. Like, *serious* ankle-biter big. And their bites? I heard a story... (whispering)...a kid almost lost a finger. (Okay, maybe exaggerated, but still. Watch your kids!) They also have a lot of poop everywhere. If your kid loves to touch and taste, pack the hand sanitizer, and for the love of all that is holy, keep an eye on them! Consider a pacifier for the wee ones!
Honestly, I saw one toddler trying to make friends with a Galapagos tortoise. It was… a moment. A moment of pure, unfiltered chaos. Pretty entertaining though.
Are the Turtles Well-Treated? I'm a Bit Sensitive About Animal Welfare.
Okay, this is important. From what I saw, YES. They seemed to be in great shape. The owner (and obviously this is their passion) clearly cares deeply about these shelled fellas. The enclosures are clean, they've got plenty of space, and they're fed regularly (I saw them getting a massive buffet of greens, seriously, my diet should be as good). They're not crammed into tiny tanks like some sad zoos. So, breathe easy. There's a genuine love for the animals. I was relieved as I was also terrified about what I signed myself up.
What Can You *Do* There? Do You Just... Look?
Mostly, yeah, you look. And gawk. And whisper "wow" a lot. You can wander around the various enclosures, marvel at the different species, and take a million photos. But here's the *really* cool part: You *can* sometimes interact with them! There's a designated area for touching (again, watch your fingers!) some smaller turtles, and if you're lucky, you might get to feed them. (Don't expect them to eat out of your hand, those suckers go ballistic when food is involved. Watch out!)
Is it Worth the Trip? I'm Short on Time (and Patience).
Okay, real talk. If you're in Yogyakarta and you're remotely interested in animals, especially the shelled kind, YES. Absolutely. Go. It's unique, it's fascinating, and it's a total sensory overload in the best way possible. Is it a perfect day out? Not always, sometimes it's hot and sweaty and you stumble on the mud. But is it memorable? OH, HELL YES.
I'll be honest; I was slightly skeptical going in. Turtles, tortoises, blah blah blah, how exciting could it *really* be? (That was, before I even stepped inside.) Well, let me tell you, I was wrong. Utterly, completely, gloriously wrong. I spent an entire afternoon there, and I could have stayed longer. My wife had to drag me out.
What Should I Wear? Hiking Boots? Swimsuit?
Comfortable shoes are a MUST. You'll be doing a fair amount of walking, and it can get pretty hot and humid. Think casual, breathable clothing. I'd avoid anything too flashy; you don't want to accidentally end up looking like a particularly appealing snack for a hungry turtle.
And bring a hat! Seriously. The sun can be brutal. Sunscreen is also a brilliant idea. And bug spray. The jungle isn't going to love you as much as I hope you'll love the turtles.
Okay, Fine. But...Are They *Cute*?
Look, "cute" is a subjective term. Some of them are majestic. Some are goofy. Some are... well, they have shells. But honestly, yes! There's a certain charm to a massive tortoise lumbering around, or a tiny hatchling waddling across the ground. The tiny ones are adorable, like little living jewels.
But the real cuteness comes from seeing these ancient creatures just... existing. It's deeply humbling. I'm not going to lie, I got a little choked up.
Is There a Gift Shop? Because I NEED a Turtle T-Shirt.
Sadly, no. Not that I saw. BUT! Here’s my pro-tip, if you see any local vendors in the area, grab some street food. Support your local friends! And I can guarantee, the memory (and all those amazing photos) will be worth way more than a cheesy t-shirt. Though, if someone *does* open a gift shop, I’m first in line for a turtle-themed everything
What Was the *Craziest* Thing You Saw? Spill the Tea!
Okay, buckle up, because this one's a doozy. There was this HUGE tortoise, the size of a small car. It was just... *there*. And as I was standing there, gawking (as one does), it started doing *the deed*. Right there, in front of everyone. The owner's face went a weird shade of red. (Maybe he knew what I was seeing!)
